“This is a fun page from Business Insider: 500M Things Google Has Never Heard Of. It’s worth a quick read (it’s quite short) but the key elements, if you’re looking for ways to spice up a presentation, or amuse your friends with:
- 15 percent of the questions people ask of Google are questions they’ve never seen before.
- Google says it has found 30 trillion “unique addresses” on the Web, meaning websites, web apps and other stuff connected to the Internet.
- Google crawls 20 billion websites per day.(That’s to say visits them, checks for new content and adds it to its index)
- Google processes 100 billion searches each month.
- That’s 3.3 billion per day.
- That’s about 12,000 per second.”
